For the Law of Moses was [only] a foreshadow of the good things that [were] to come [i.e., in the Messianic age], not the exact image of those things. It can never, by the same sacrifices, continually offered year after year, make [morally] perfect those who draw near [to God in worship].

So also, when we [Jews] were like children, we were under bondage to the basic worldly rules [of the Law of Moses].

(for [Levitical] priests were appointed without [God] taking [such] an oath, but Christ was appointed with an oath by God when He said to Him [Psa. 110:4], “The Lord made a vow and will not change His mind [when He said], ‘You are a priest forever’).”
